Mainly because things can be made cheaper in China/Taiwan. Instead of paying workers in the USA $10+ an hour, they can pay people in China/Taiwan $10 a day. It all comes down to dollars and cents and making more money.

Because Richard Nixon and corporate interests decided to utilize China's billions of people for money making purposes. A Chinese person will assemble products for much less than an American would do the same job. Corporations make a lot more money this way. This has put many Americans out of a job. It all started in the 1970s.
By the way, Walmart always claimed they sold only American made products. Isn't that funny?

It's easy. In China, people are paid 23 cents an hour.
http://www.nlcnet.org/resources/wages.htm
There's more.
Two thirds of China's people live on less than $1/ day
Market rate for unskilled labor: $0.60/ hour
Skilled workers in China earn $100-$150/ month for 50-65 hours/ week.
Unskilled workers get $50-70/ month (presumably for same hours)
The average income for a rural resident (population: 700 million) in China is $286/ year
AND HERE'S THE REAL REASON:
As many as 30 Chinese workers can be hired for the cost of one cabinetmaker in North Carolina

Chinese is cheap labor. Because it is a communist totalitarian country with a large desperate workforce, it's easy for 75% of the world's manufacturing to be done there. We all try to ignore the fact that their corrupt leaders only keep persecuting their people and only intend on world domination.
Taiwn is a different matter entirely. While once a maker of inexpensive products, now they make some of the best quality electronics in the world.

The Chinese will work for a lot less, they don't have the labour laws we have. I try and buy things made locally, but it's getting harder and harder to find them. The funny thing is they usually don't cost that much more, which goes to show just how much profit the companies that outsource their labour to China must be making!

I rather did no longer get of project to demonstrate screen those suits in touch so would possibly no longer have comprehensive insights. Sehwag had no reason to withdraw his charm, he replaced into interior comprehensive rights. It replaced into thoroughly interior the spirit of the sport, what the batsman replaced into attempting to do replaced into no longer. no want for a warning the two with the help of the bowler. If the batsman does not prefer to get out then stay interior the crease. If it replaced into sparkling he replaced into working to make a run after which while observed that he may be out. will strengthen his hands that he has an injury then he ought to settle for out. yet there is likewise income of the doubt, he actual might have pulled some thing or actual injury. If he's injured unlikely he will dive its stupid. Hussey isn't the form of participant from his checklist who could attempt some thing humorous. he's a honest participant. intentionally or by danger bowlers shouldn't stand interior the middle. Batsmen ought to run to attain, so they ought to be off the pitch right this moment. i don't comprehend what the circumstances have been, yet while bowler is on the pitch a rule ought to be made batsman shall no longer settle for out. Bowlers ought to be of the pitch. Its batsman's precise no longer the bowlers. together with his hands on the hips what replaced into he doing status there interior the 1st place? Umpires ought to admonish such bowlers inspite of who it rather is. i don't comprehend relating to something of the circumstances, in spite of the fact that it rather is being pronounced Tendulkar did no longer even difficulty floor his bat. And without or with Lee status there he could've been out. This regulation ought to be clarified now IMO regardless. That if bowler intentionally or by danger stands on the pitch hindering the batsman. The batsman shall no longer settle for out. I continuously hate that.
